create

Description

Creates a new custom protection rule in the specified compartment.

Custom protection rules allow you to create rules in addition to the rulesets provided by the Web Application Firewall service, including rules from ModSecurity. The syntax for custom rules is based on the ModSecurity syntax. For more information about custom protection rules, see Custom Protection Rules.

Usage

oci waas custom-protection-rule create [OPTIONS]

Required Parameters

--compartment-id, -c [text]

The OCID of the compartment in which to create the custom protection rule.

--display-name [text]

A user-friendly name for the custom protection rule.

--template [text]

The template text of the custom protection rule. All custom protection rules are expressed in ModSecurity Rule Language.

Additionally, each rule must include two placeholder variables that are updated by the WAF service upon publication of the rule.

id: {{id_1}} - This field is populated with a unique rule ID generated by the WAF service which identifies a SecRule. More than one SecRule can be defined in the template field of a CreateCustomSecurityRule call. The value of the first SecRule must be id: {{id_1}} and the id field of each subsequent SecRule should increase by one, as shown in the example.

ctl:ruleEngine={{mode}} - The action to be taken when the criteria of the SecRule are met, either OFF, DETECT or BLOCK. This field is automatically populated with the corresponding value of the action field of the CustomProtectionRuleSetting schema when the WafConfig is updated.

Example: `   SecRule REQUEST_COOKIES "regex matching SQL injection - part 1/2" \           "phase:2,                                                 \           msg:'Detects chained SQL injection attempts 1/2.',        \           id: {{id_1}},                                             \           ctl:ruleEngine={{mode}},                                  \           deny"   SecRule REQUEST_COOKIES "regex matching SQL injection - part 2/2" \           "phase:2,                                                 \           msg:'Detects chained SQL injection attempts 2/2.',        \           id: {{id_2}},                                             \           ctl:ruleEngine={{mode}},                                  \           deny"   `

The example contains two SecRules each having distinct regex expression to match the Cookie header value during the second input analysis phase.

Optional Parameters

--defined-tags [complex type]

Defined tags for this resource. Each key is predefined and scoped to a namespace. For more information, see Resource Tags.

Example:

{"Operations": {"CostCenter": "42"}}

This is a complex type whose value must be valid JSON. The value can be provided as a string on the command line or passed in as a file using the file://path/to/file syntax.

The --generate-param-json-input option can be used to generate an example of the JSON which must be provided. We recommend storing this example in a file, modifying it as needed and then passing it back in via the file:// syntax.

--description [text]

A description for the Custom Protection rule.

--freeform-tags [complex type]

Free-form tags for this resource. Each tag is a simple key-value pair with no predefined name, type, or namespace. For more information, see Resource Tags.

Example:

{"Department": "Finance"}

This is a complex type whose value must be valid JSON. The value can be provided as a string on the command line or passed in as a file using the file://path/to/file syntax.

The --generate-param-json-input option can be used to generate an example of the JSON which must be provided. We recommend storing this example in a file, modifying it as needed and then passing it back in via the file:// syntax.

--from-json [text]

Provide input to this command as a JSON document from a file using the file://path-to/file syntax.

The --generate-full-command-json-input option can be used to generate a sample json file to be used with this command option. The key names are pre-populated and match the command option names (converted to camelCase format, e.g. compartment-id –> compartmentId), while the values of the keys need to be populated by the user before using the sample file as an input to this command. For any command option that accepts multiple values, the value of the key can be a JSON array.

Options can still be provided on the command line. If an option exists in both the JSON document and the command line then the command line specified value will be used.

For examples on usage of this option, please see our “using CLI with advanced JSON options” link: https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/iaas/Content/API/SDKDocs/cliusing.htm#AdvancedJSONOptions

--max-wait-seconds [integer]

The maximum time to wait for the resource to reach the lifecycle state defined by --wait-for-state. Defaults to 1200 seconds.

--wait-for-state [text]

This operation creates, modifies or deletes a resource that has a defined lifecycle state. Specify this option to perform the action and then wait until the resource reaches a given lifecycle state. Multiple states can be specified, returning on the first state. For example, --wait-for-state SUCCEEDED --wait-for-state FAILED would return on whichever lifecycle state is reached first. If timeout is reached, a return code of 2 is returned. For any other error, a return code of 1 is returned.

Accepted values are:

ACTIVE, CREATING, DELETED, DELETING, FAILED, UPDATING

--wait-interval-seconds [integer]

Check every --wait-interval-seconds to see whether the resource has reached the lifecycle state defined by --wait-for-state. Defaults to 30 seconds.

Global Parameters

Use oci --help for help on global parameters.

--auth-purpose, --auth, --cert-bundle, --cli-auto-prompt, --cli-rc-file, --config-file, --connection-timeout, --debug, --defaults-file, --endpoint, --generate-full-command-json-input, --generate-param-json-input, --help, --latest-version, --max-retries, --no-retry, --opc-client-request-id, --opc-request-id, --output, --profile, --proxy, --query, --raw-output, --read-timeout, --realm-specific-endpoint, --region, --release-info, --request-id, --version, -?, -d, -h, -i, -v

Example using required parameter

Copy the following CLI commands into a file named example.sh. Run the command by typing “bash example.sh” and replacing the example parameters with your own.

Please note this sample will only work in the POSIX-compliant bash-like shell. You need to set up the OCI configuration and appropriate security policies before trying the examples.
